Can't Deliver the Goods.

The proposition of certain Republic
cans that if the Prohibitionists will re-
turn to the Republican fold that party
will give to the people the best tenn
perance laws. reminds us of similar
proposition made many years ago. 1t
will be remembered that on an occasion
the devil took Christ up into an exceed
ing high mountain, and showing him
all the kingdoms of the earth, said unto
Him, "All this will l give Thee if Thou
wilt fall down and worship me-" We
are not disposed to question the SINGER
ity of our Republican friends who are
making these promises to Prohibition
lists, nor do we affirm that the devil was
more than ordinarily devilish in MAX
ing the promise he did to Christ. All
that we claim is. that the devil was ut
terly unable to deliver the goods he was
trying to sell. but not more so than the
men who are making these deceptive
promises to PrOhibitionists. The liq-
nor traffic has too firm hold upon
the political throat of the Republican
party to permit it to do any thing of
real advantage to the cause of temper
ance.-G. W. Pennnssn, in 81. Paul
